The main idea is to not hit (punch/pull) until the lead, not the rod is 180 degrees away from the direction of the cast. This will normally be when the rod is past the 6 oclock position, 12 oclock being cast direction. Normally you should wait until the rod is near 4 oclock position. What I forgot to mention however is if you can get the lead more than 90 degrees off the tip the lead will be in the right position sooner and you will get a more efficient hit. Practicing the heavy leads 175g, 200g casting off the ground will help with this. Good luck!

I've spent hours reading, videos, and that was , explained in like 3 minutes..? Thank you, exquisite.

[@hushedgameplay6666]

If you all are going to attempt this on a spinning reel (fixed reel) I highly suggest investing in a "casting trigger". You can find a good one on ebay for around $11. Your finger will thank you! I've cut my finger too many times to count before I found out about these things. It will help you get the maximum power from your spinning reel cast since it holds the line super tight for you when you cast. The one I bought was from a brand called hypertackle if anyone is interested.

[@FathimathKolhufushi]

My son is pendulum casting 80g-200g with out cutting his finger. By the way he is 12. I should by him one.

[@djenty_angler]

Finally a proper explanation... thanks for this video.

[@nburrows02]

"If it cracks of fuck it" ahhahahah 😂😂😂

[@mrpharcyde11]

Brilliant, you've just answered my problem, I'm pussin out with the weight of the rod mid swing and hitting to early, lumping the rod around and tending to bend it into the cast instead, as you've kindly pointed out not punching last minute...i need to have more confidence in the rods speed and power ,punch not push, thank you kindly, helped loads.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Whenever I see a pro doing this cast, it makes me realise two things I've really been doing wrong. 1) I was holding the rod handle with both hands instead of the right hand further up 2) I was casting with the rod going in a direct line instead of bringing it round at an angle.

[@djrmonix]

Depends on the type of rod but def beach/surf rods hands a good few feet apart!

[@TonyEnglandUK]

@@djrmonix I just got back from fishing and I cast 1.5 times further, cheers for this video!

[@djrmonix]

Hi tony just uploaded a short vid on hand spacing.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

@@djrmonix Cheers, mate, I'll have a look

[@billhanson8038]

Has to be among the top 10 distance casting informational videos of all time........

[@djrmonix]

bill hanson Cheers Bill!

[@stantonlonghorn4023]

Thanks for sharing these tips on casting, they are very well explained and points out the does and do nots in a clear way. Finally helping me progress some.

[@djrmonix]

Thanks

[@mondopesca5205]

best casting tip on youtube because is a common mistake.Nobody explain why no need chop the cast.Thanks from Italy

[@djrmonix]

Thanks

[@molvimusk9991]

Thanks mate,this is exactly what mistake I was making, very helpful and satisfied

[@cesarali8001]

just amazing, thanks you very much steve. excelent description to one of the worst and popular casting mistake.

[@25is27]

Very nice cast, Smooth and controlled. I hope you don't mind me commenting though that your Rod tip is always 7 foot above the ground at minimum during the cast. I think you would get a lot more distance if you could somehow sweep it to 2-3 foot off the ground at the low point. I think the lead would be in acceleration for longer. Watching Jan zelesny throwing a javelin would indicate what I mean. He has a massive amount of acceleration time due to his long arm sweep. Big Danny does the same when casting Thanks for the video anyway. Very interesting

[@djrmonix]

25 mc 27 Cheers. Yeah its something I am working on without the lead hitting the ground

[@martinlanza1236]

Thanks for sharing! Good demo with the chop stick (that helped) but the video demo was great because we could see the weight and the rod - well done.

[@leonardothelion9091]

Great video on casting I’m currently using a Zziplex Primo Syncro but can’t wait til I get my Italcanna La

[@buckrogers2828]

Ive a pair of LA's plus B4 and the Daddy A4

[@beachuk38]

Very nice clear video. Iv found it hard to get a high trajectory the more I try to keep the tip moving it a wider arc. Thanks.

[@djrmonix]

I know what you mean. Trick is to get tip down low and wide but easier said than done without hitting the ground!

[@MarioMario-vr9fp]

Thank you very much when you explain how the casting steps are i found what i looking for thank you again👍👍👍

[@markpaley515]

Best casting vid on KZbin ever, wish i could of had access to videos like this 15years ago . Thanks very much for posting greatly appreciate it

[@djrmonix]

cheers Mark!

[@iantaylor1696]

Brilliant video and tutorial, right up there with to best, well done.

[@TompsonsTricks]

Tried this on field tonight for first attempt at pendulum, helps massively, thank you. Wondering why your last cast cracked off?

[@howardvarley8795]

Excellent question.!! Pwahaaaa!!

[@turboduckhead6179]

Is it possible to do this type of casting with a fixed spool reel

[@djrmonix]

Yes absolutely

[@mrleahsophie]

Best example I have seen thanks for sharing hopefully it will help

[@owenjames5736]

This is the best video I’ve found of showing the path the lead takes when your swinging it out thank you👌 also if it cracks off... fuck it😂

[@kf8575]

So hitting it that little bit too early, and it "going iver the top" might be the cause of a cast going high and to the right hand side? Basically be a bit more patient and wait for the real heavy feeling?

[@djrmonix]

Yes i would say prob yes. If you go to hit the rod at the end and it feels like nothing there and 2 secs later it cracksoff.

[@FatDave-Mtb]

Excellent tutorial mate!

[@juanitaescobedo3284]

hi.... mr djrmonix.......i been learning a lot ,with your vids really. nice technique ....... can you.explain why the last cast crack off,,,,,, and not the previous, cast ......????? thx..... from united states ......

[@thewelshinternationalangle8456]

Cheers stevie , this definitely applies to me 🤣🤣

[@djrmonix]

I was casting pretty crap then but the theory kind of right

[@MarkoAbo]

What caused it to bird nest like that? Great videos man! Mark in Oregon, USA

[@sergiogabrielgrillo2382]

Gracias que bien explicada la técnica un vídeo de los mejores que e visto Saludos desde argentina !

[@johnniefortune1872]

Thanks. That make perfect sense. Back to the field to try this out. What knot do you use to tie the leader on?

[@gypsyrich417]

Something I've not seen explained is after the cast, When do you thumb the reel? I look for the splash...but notice alot looking at the reel only?

[@djrmonix]

Doing these kind of distance casts you wont really see the lead splashing down. On the field we watch the reel as we domt want to thumb before lead hits the ground as will take away some distance. The moment the reel over rus ee thumb it as quick as possible. For fishing I just get used to how long its in the air for and tend to watch the weigt and bait or gentlythumb pressure just before i think its going to land

[@darrenbetts2987]

Thanks. It’s a mistake I make at times

[@Reelswheelsmeals]

I’ve never tried this technique...I’m gonna practice and practice and if I can crack 183 metres I will treat myself to a Zziplex 🤞🏻

[@djrmonix]

Good target, the ol' 200yards.

[@jasonsweet1868]

You knew you were going to crack off but would you mind telling me as I can’t see what was wrong

[@djrmonix]

I will reply 2mrw, its that long since I done that video will have to watch it back.

[@johnoneill342]

Best iv seen yet

[@gmonkey6523]

great video. that last crack off was strange cas the lead had gone. Did you birds nest or get it caught. It didnt seem like the power of the cast was the issue.

[@djrmonix]

Ironically I chopped the cast. Lead went of early and sudden loss of tension on the leader made me swipe the rod after release pulling some line of the reel which wasnt being taken up by the weight. I have a different swing now check my newer vids I dont chop it now, more distance.

[@MarioMario-vr9fp]

I needyour advice i want to buy a rod when i cast with it my bait could reatch about 150- 200 meter and i can fish with it afish from 50 g to20kg i mean i want it senstive &strong what the kind you advise me &dont forget the reel Thanks

[@kcd2630]

Awesome video . Thank you for sharing What distance do you get . Does it years to master this technique

[@djrmonix]

On average if casting well, weight only around 260-270 yards but have done more. Prob from absolute beginner to acheiving 200yards probably around 6 months to a year typically, then it gets difficult

[@keithgribble5766]

great video explaining lots,, bud cheers

[@Blenbkuqi]

nice video . can you put subtitle pleas

[@howardvarley8795]

Hi mate!! Really enjoyed this vid! Left is stll too low and rushed!! JMHO.

[@djrmonix]

Hey coach. Take it you know its Stevie r from.wsf forum. Thanks. That vid was maybe 3 years ago and I have totally changed my style and swing and casting well at mo. You or alan doing any casting at the mo?

[@howardvarley8795]

Hi Mate, would recognise the cast anywhere. Interested to watch the new one. Alan is coping with being a new father and im struggling with chronic arthritis. Its all in the bottom hand !!

[@djrmonix]

Congrats to Alan. Oh dear. Hope arthritis manageable. You know you are a caster when you refer to your hands as top and bottom rather than left and right 😀😀
